Not cheap but works perfectly
I plugged in a generic usb to serial cable to configure a switch and it worked straight away, no drama. — Muffin Man?
The best serial terminal app, hands down
I use this application in my electronics hobby, for talking to the consoles of Raspberry Pis, Arduinos, and whatnot. This is hands-down the best application of it's kind that I've encountered. Not having the hassle (and potential security risk) of dealing with random 3rd-party driver KEXTs is the real killer feature of this app. The rest of it being easy to use, feature rich, and trouble-free is icing on the cake! — thorpejsf
Must Have for Cisco Admins
This application is great! Plug in your serial adapter and Cisco console cable, then open the Serial app and you’re on your way! No drivers to mess with, no hunting for your adapter in /dev/, no screwing around with screens. It just works! Easily the best 30 bucks I’ve ever spent. It has saved me plenty of time and frustration. — C_Man1
